Chapter 142: Cai Hou Paper
Wang Qiu stared at Zang Ba, his expression changed.
These people were all 'recruited' by Qiao Mao for various reasons, and the most special of them is undoubtedly this Zang Ba!
Zang Ba is 'leading the troops' to vote, he is very unruly, and he can't help him.
Zang Ba's knife was on Wang Qiu's neck, and he said coldly: "Where are my wife and children hidden?" ”
Wang Qiu felt the sharp blade on his neck, his body shook, and he held on, "Captain Zang, listen to me......"
Poof
Zang Ba swung his knife violently, and then set it back.
Wang Qiu was stiff, his legs trembled badly, and he subconsciously reached out and touched his neck, making a thin cut, as if he hadn't touched the blood yet, but it hurt like a pinprick!
Zang Ba looked at him coldly, without another word of nonsense.
Wang Qiu's scalp was numb, and he said, "It's in the backyard of the official office." ”
Zang Ba put away his knife and turned around to leave.
Wang Qiu hurriedly said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zang Ba didn't pay attention to him at all, carried a knife, and left in a hurry.
Wang Qiu covered the wound on his neck with his right hand, his heart was flustered, he thought about it, sighed dejectedly, and said to himself: "That's it! ”
His wife and children were also in Qiaomao's hands, and now he couldn't take care of it, so he put some account books in order, took some soft ones, and left silently.
Zang Ba and Wang Qiu separated, without any bells and whistles, directly summoned the old ministry and rushed to the official office.
At this time, Qiao Mao and a group of people were inspecting the castle tower.
He watched the officers and soldiers retreat, and smiled with Bai Huan: "Captain Bai, what I said is good, right?" The more urgent the Cao army's offensive became, the more it showed that they were short of food and grass. In the cold winter, they have nowhere to find food, either retreat from the army, or, wait for their self-collapse! ”
Bai Huan played with the knife in his hand, and when he saw that Cao Jun had indeed retreated, he looked playful, and said, "Qiao Taishou, I have good news for you." ”
"Oh?" There are some accidents in Qiaomao, in Puyang City, there are still things that can be hidden from him?
He looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "What good news?" ”
Bai Huan scandium snorted, inserted the knife back, and said, "Yecheng, I'm afraid it won't last long." ”
Qiao Mao's expression changed suddenly, staring at Bai Huan deadly, and said, "Can you break through Yecheng?" ”
Bai Huan smiled smugly and said, "True or false, the bridge will know in a few days." ”
Qiaomao's heart shook, and his eyes flickered.
He formed an alliance with the Montenegrin Army, just wanting a foreign aid, but he was not an 'ally' who could drive straight into Governor Ji and break through Yecheng!
"It's too guarded, it's not good, Zang Ba is reversed!" Without waiting for the bridge to think about it, suddenly a captain he appointed ran up and shouted urgently.
Qiao Mao's face changed suddenly, and he walked downstairs quickly, shouting, "Stop him!" ”
Bai Huan was a little surprised, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Cao Jun preparing to attack the city again, looked at the back of Qiao Mao, thought about it, and turned in another direction.
By the time Qiaomao arrived, Zang Ba had already rescued his wife and children, and was surrounded by hundreds of people.
Qiao Mao hurriedly saw the strange eyes of the people looking at him, his eyes sank, and he shouted to Zang Ba: "Zang Ba, you surrender immediately, I will spare you from death!" ”
Seeing that he was surrounded, Zang Ba was not afraid, and said: "Qiaomao, now, you open the north gate and let me go, everything is easy to say." If you insist on persecution, I will open the south gate and let Na Lu Bu into the city!" ”
"You dare!" The bridge was shocked and angry.
The south gate is indeed guarded by Zang Ba's people!
Zang Ba slashed off the spear not far in front of him with a knife, and shouted: "Whoever dares to stop me will die with me!" ”
As he spoke, he stepped forward with his sword and forced back the bridge in front of him.
Everyone didn't dare to stop it, they all looked at Qiao Mao, waiting for him to make a decision.
Qiao Mao didn't expect that Zang Ba would dare so much!
But if he kills Zang Ba, the south gate will collapse instantly, and Lu Bu and Cao Cao will inevitably seize the opportunity and kill all the way in!
Qiao Mao's expression was uncertain, his eyes were full of killing intent, and for a while, he couldn't make a decision at all.
"Taishou! Look! One of the soldiers exclaimed.
Qiao Mao looked up and saw that the granary suddenly burst into flames.
The bridge stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but was picked up by several soldiers in a panic.
"Go, go, go!" Qiao was frightened, didn't care about anything else, and said urgently.
Zang Ba looked back coldly, protected his wife and children, and went straight to the south gate.
At the same time, outside the city of Puyang.
Guo Jia drank wine, looked at the fire in Puyang City, and said with a smile to Cao Cao: "General, is your letter working?" ”
Cao Cao was also unsure, his long narrow eyes flashed with excitement, and said, "Yes or no, the city is broken today!" ”
"Attack!"
Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice.
All of Cao Cao's soldiers and horses were pressed up.
Not far away, Ding Yuan also would not let go of this opportunity, and said loudly: "Order Lu Bu to attack the city with all his might, be the first to attack it, and capture Qiao Mao and the others for me!" ”
The city of Puyang had collapsed, and Cao Cao and Ding Yuan joined forces, and almost did not make much effort, and easily killed them.
In less than half an hour, Cao Cao rode a horse and entered the city majestically.
"Did you catch it?" Cao Cao looked at Xiahou and said.
Xiahoudun said: "Let him run away, Miaocai took someone to chase him, but many family members of the Qiao family were arrested by me." ”
Cao Cao's expression was slightly cold, and he said: "Pass my order, the whole Yanzhou will search for the Qiao family and the three clans!" ”
"Yes!" Xiahoudun responded loudly.
He turned around and pulled the families of all the rebels to the door of the official office, and killed them all, men, women, and children, four or five hundred!
When Ding Yuan rushed over, he was shocked to see the corpses all over the ground, staring at Cao Cao on the steps, unable to say a word.
Cao Cao's face was expressionless, and he said: "Ding Envoy Jun, Puyang is broken, please go to the court with me." ”
Where could Ding Yuan have thought that Cao Cao was so ruthless, the corners of his mouth moved, and he did not refuse.
At the same time, the city of Luoyang, the imperial palace.
Pan Yin held a plate in his hand, handed it to Liu Wei, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a newly developed paper developed by the descendants of Marquis Cai, and it is hereby presented to Your Majesty's Imperial Review." ”
"Cai Hou?"
Liu Wei was stunned, then reacted, took it, first touched it, then looked carefully, compared it with the one on his table, and said with a smile: "It is indeed more delicate, soft, and less rough." ”
Liu Wei said, couldn't help but pick up the pen and experiment, wrote a few, nodded and said: "It's smoother, no jerky, good paper!" ”
Liu Wei picked up the pile of paper again, looked at it carefully for a while, looked at Pan Yin, and said, "You just said that Cai Hou's descendants?" Cai Lun has descendants? ”
Pan Yin paused and said, "This, it is said to be so, it seems that there is a genealogy with Cai Taichang, and it was Tang Niangniang who introduced it on his behalf." ”
Liu Wei sighed, noncommittal.
Now all kinds of relationships, often counting up several generations or even more than a dozen generations, who can say clearly?
However, he looked at the pile of paper, his eyes narrowed slightly, and just now, a thought flashed in his heart, which made him very excited, but he couldn't remember it anymore.
"Wait,"
Liu Wei suddenly looked at Pan Yin and said, "You said, it was Tang Ji who introduced it on his behalf?" Are they in the palace now? ”
Pan Yin said: "Yes, Cai Taichang and Cai Zheng are outside the Jingfu Palace, and Cai Xiaoniang is in the Tang Niangniang Palace. ”
'Why does this Cai Wenji always enter the palace! ’
Liu Wei said in his heart, "Pass them in." ”
"Yes." Pan Yin responded, and then withdrew.
Liu Wei sat on the chair, quietly looking at the pile of paper, still thinking about the flash of inspiration just now.
Not long after, Cai Yong and Cai Zheng came in one after the other.
"Minister Cai Yong/villain Cai Zheng, see Your Majesty." The two saluted.
"No courtesy." Liu Wei looked at Cai Zheng, with an octagonal beard, triangular eyes, and the appearance of a philistine businessman.
Cai Zheng bowed, with a respectful face, and said: "Your Majesty, the villain's paper-making skills are all from the ancestors, slightly modified, please dedicate it to Your Majesty." ”
Liu Wei looked at him, his heart moved, and said: "You say, this is Cai Hou paper, ancestral, only you know?" ”
Cai Zheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." This kind of paper is very special, it requires materials and processes, which is quite different from the past, and it took the villain more than ten years to improve it......"
"How much do these pieces of paper cost?" Liu Wei interrupted him, his eyes burning.
Cai Zheng looked up at Liu Wei cautiously, and said, "Your Majesty, these, the villain has spent eight hundred dollars before and after. ”
"Eight hundred?"
Liu Bian's face was different, he reached out and picked up a pile on the table, and estimated it slightly, it was only sixty or seventy.
One piece, it actually costs more than ten cents!
Liu Wei thought about it in his heart and said, "Can you reduce the cost?" ”
Cai Zheng didn't understand what the purpose of Liu Bian's question was, glanced at Cai Yong, and replied more and more cautiously: "If it is, carefully simplify and use materials, but you can save one or two hundred dollars." The villain is dedicated to His Majesty, it is the best, at any cost, please Your Majesty Mingjian. ”
